Downtown Dining
The sights and sounds of “downtown” Buenos
Aires will be familiar to those of you who live in
a big city. There are streets crowded with
smartly dressed working people rushing to
their offices, lots of cars, buses and taxis and
well-stocked stores filled with shoppers. Here
too are the historic areas of the city. The city
fathers have attempted to make the area peo-
ple-friendly. The major shopping street, Calle
Florida, is a pedestrian promenade, as is Calle
Lavalle, where many cinemas and restaurants
are found. You'll spend many of your Buenos
Aires days and nights here. Restaurants run
the gamut from among the city's finest to fast-
food stops and everything in between. You can
dine well and inexpensively in the area.
Restaurants
